He has not promised to veto Keystone.

Before the vote Friday, White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters the president's position on the pipeline hadn’t changed despite the Nebraska court ruling.

“As you know it is undergoing rigorous review, and we’re going to wait for that review to be completed before the president makes any decisions,” Schultz said.
